With the increasingly widespread application of artificial intelligence technology,robots are gradually integrating into various traditional industries,comprehensively promoting industrial upgrading and transformation.Entering the 14th Five Year Plan period,the country has also continued to launch empowerment plans for the development of the robot industry.Recently,multiple departments such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued an implementation plan for the"Robot+"application action,proposing to significantly increase the density of robot applications by 2025.From the market situation,in recent years,the depth and breadth of application of service robots and special robots in the industry have significantly improved,especially in the field of medical health.Medical robot products such as auxiliary examinations and rehabilitation are constantly emerging,and the combination of robot technology and medical technology is becoming deeper and deeper.In the long run,with the continuous improvement of core technology,rehabilitation robots can even replace and assist rehabilitation therapists in the future,thus breeding a new blue ocean market.
Rehabilitation robots are the development achievements of high-end rehabilitation medical technology
As a key application field in the robotics industry,medical robots are mainly divided into surgical robots,auxiliary and service robots,and rehabilitation robots based on disease types and departments.At present,surgical robots account for about 60%of the industry as a whole,with rehabilitation robots ranking second and also a high-end rehabilitation medical technology developed in recent years.From the perspective of industrial positioning,rehabilitation robots involve various fields such as rehabilitation medicine,artificial intelligence,materials science,and are both academic and industrial hotspots.Overall,rehabilitation robots are divided into two types:assistive and therapeutic.Among them,auxiliary rehabilitation robots are mainly used to help patients,elderly people,and disabled people better adapt to daily life and work,partially compensating for their weakened functions,while therapeutic rehabilitation robots mainly focus on restoring some of the patient's functions.
Compared with developed Western countries,China's rehabilitation robot industry started relatively late and began to gradually rise in 2017.After more than 5 years of development,rehabilitation robots in China have been widely used in rehabilitation nursing,prosthetics,and rehabilitation treatment,not only comprehensively driving the development of rehabilitation medicine,but also laying the foundation for the development of new technologies,theories,and formats.Data shows that the compound annual growth rate of China's rehabilitation robot industry in the past five years has reached 57.5%,and it is expected that the industry scale will increase to 2.04 billion yuan in 2023.
Of course,due to factors such as low penetration rate,long research and development time,and low domestic market share,the rehabilitation robot market in China is still in the early exploration stage.Especially in the mid to high end market,leading companies such as Hocoma and WOODWAY among European and American brands still dominate the market.However,with the continuous rise of local enterprises such as Eston(002747.SZ),Ruihan Medical,Anyang Shenfang,Maikangxin,Jinghe Robotics,the independent research and development capabilities of domestic brands are gradually increasing.Coupled with a series of favorable policy news,the localization process is constantly accelerating,and the gap between China's local industry and foreign leading enterprises is gradually narrowing.
Rehabilitation robots can fill the supply and demand gap between doctors and patients and promote industrial upgrading
In the long run,rehabilitation robots are an important driving force for effectively filling the supply and demand gap between doctors and patients and comprehensively promoting the digital upgrading of the medical rehabilitation industry.With the accelerating aging population and the increasing number of chronic disease patients in China,the huge demand for rehabilitation medical services and rehabilitation medical equipment is driving the rapid development of the local rehabilitation robot industry.
Data shows that from 2016 to 2020,the market size of China's rehabilitation industry increased from 57.5 billion yuan to 122 billion yuan,with an annual compound growth rate of 20.69%.The rehabilitation medical device market size alone reached 38 billion yuan,with an annual compound growth rate of 21.39%over the past five years.Industry authoritative institutions believe that the market size of rehabilitation medical devices in China is expected to reach 81 billion yuan by 2025.During this process,the issue of supply and demand mismatch between rehabilitation therapists and patients,as well as the low penetration rate of rehabilitation medical services,has become increasingly prominent.In addition,with the arrival of an aging society,the large elderly rehabilitation population is also in urgent need of supply and supplementation.The latest census data shows that the population aged 65 and above in China has reached around 200 million,accounting for 14%of the total population.At present,traditional rehabilitation devices still cannot completely replace the highly customized manual treatment of rehabilitation therapists,and this demand gap must be replaced by rehabilitation robots.
From a clinical perspective,rehabilitation robots can comprehensively reduce the workload of rehabilitation therapists,improve treatment efficiency and accuracy.Relying on a series of intelligent technologies,rehabilitation robots can also promote patients'active participation,objectively evaluate the intensity,time,and effectiveness of rehabilitation training,making rehabilitation treatment more systematic and standardized.Overall,a large number of rehabilitation groups,including people with disabilities,mental disabilities,and neurological disorders,are key service targets for future rehabilitation robots.With the continuous emergence of new technologies and directions such as artificial intelligence and 5G,rehabilitation robots have ushered in disruptive innovation in the rehabilitation medical industry,generating important value and further driving the medical field towards intelligence,achieving win-win cooperation in multiple fields.
